Andrew Fernandes, 22, has been dealing drugs for four years but finally was sent to prison at Stafford Crown Court yesterday.

Fernandes was caught when a plain-clothes police officer spotted him selling drugs in broad daylight in Broad Street, Cannock, in August 2022.

Prosecuting, Omar Majid said: "Mr Fernandes was seen taking cash off a man in his left hand and handing him something with the other hand. The officer followed him to Hyde Court."

When police raided a flat in Hyde Court they found wraps of cocaine and heroin in a bag which had Fernandes' finger prints, electronic scales, cash and phones with messages about drug sales.
